Security – Cash Collateral
Peoples Trust Secured MasterCard is a regular credit card with a limit that you determine. You set the limit by depositing a minimum of $500 into a five year term, CDIC insured, GIC account set up by Peoples Trust. The funds in your GIC account are considered the security deposit, and the limit on your MasterCard is 100% of that balance. You will earn interest on your GIC account while you use the credit line on your Peoples Trust Secured MasterCard. The GIC carries an annual interest rate of 0.50% and is not compounding. Interest will begin to accrue on the day the MasterCard is activated and will cease to accrue on the date of closure. (Interest will be payable at time of closure only if the MasterCard is active a minimum of one year.) We will continue re-investing your GIC in 5 year term investments at the then current Peoples Trust Secured Card program fixed rate of interest, until termination of your Secured MasterCard account. You can close your account anytime without penalty, at which time your security deposit, including any interest earned, will be returned (less any outstanding card balance). Peoples Trust reports your payment history to both credit bureaus which allows you to establish credit.
As security for the performance of all my obligations relating to my credit card account ("Account"), including repayment of all credit extended through my Account, I pledge and grant to Peoples Trust Company and to Peoples Trust Financial Ltd and to their assignees (collectively, "Peoples Trust"), a first-priority security interest (in Quebec, a movable hypothec with delivery) in all funds, including interest on such funds, now or hereafter delivered by me to Peoples Trust (the "Funds") as of the date of my delivery of such funds to Peoples Trust. The Funds will be held in an interest bearing account at Peoples Trust Company (the "Security Deposit Account", with interest payable to me upon the closure of my account, by means of payment selected by Peoples Trust. Interest rates for the Security Deposit Account are subject to change without notice. I agree to pay all charges and fees relating to my Security Deposit Account and the Funds, as disclosed to me from time to time by Peoples Trust Company. I will not grant any other party any interest in the Funds. I also understand that my Funds will not be returned to me until all of my indebtedness with respect to my Account is fully satisfied, all credit cards have been returned to Peoples Trust and all of my other obligations have been performed, and in no event will Funds be returned in less than 4 weeks after receipt of notice of termination of my account. If I have made false or misleading material statement in this application, if I exceed my credit limit, fail to make a payment when due or otherwise default under the terms of the Peoples Trust Credit Card Agreement or the security agreement, or if Peoples Trust or I terminate my Account, Peoples Trust may, without notice to me or demand for payment, withdraw Funds from the Security Deposit Account and apply such amounts in satisfaction of any of my obligations with respect to my Account. If Peoples Trust hires a law firm to enforce its rights with respect to my Account or the Funds, I agree to pay Peoples Trust all reasonable legal fees and court costs that Peoples Trust incurs, to the extent permitted by law. The minimum deposit required is $500.00 and the maximum deposit accepted is $25,000.00.
Determination of Interest
If interest is charged, it is calculated on your Daily Average Balance and charged monthly to your account on the last day of your billing cycle. The Daily Average Balance for each category is calculated by adding together the daily balance outstanding for each day in the billing cycle and dividing that total by the number of days in the billing cycle and then multiplying that number by the Daily Periodic Rate. The Daily periodic Rate is calculated by dividing the Annual Interest Rate by 365.
